Mark Hamill Calls Bullshit on "Original" Lightsaber Auction

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill is questioning the sale of an "original" Luke Skywalker lightsaber, advising that buyers should most definitely beware.

Profiles in History's Blockbuster Hollywood Treasures auction will be held in Los Angeles later this month, and one of the items up for grabs is billed as "The original Mark Hamill 'Luke Skywalker' lightsaber." According to the action house, it's estimated to sell for upwards of $200,000 USD.

However, Hamill has weighed in on Twitter, explaining that the item might not as rare as you think.

"Be Advised," the actor wrote, "There was no ONE lightsaber I used in the films, but many, MANY, both for myself & my stunt-double."

Be Advised-There was no ONE lightsaber I used in the films, but many, MANY, both for myself & my stunt-double. Multiple duplicate back-up props are commonplace during production-When the handle ridges were cutting my hands, they even made a few w/ soft sponge ridges! #BuyerBewarehttps://t.co/C6Tv4TGIPy
